Yesterday I attended an Auto Show in my area of the new cars and trucks offered of all the 2017 models. This image is an extreme contrast to what I saw there. A 1959 Cadillac, one of the last of the big fins of the ’50s. At 42 inches tall this fin was one of the largest. The image was created while location scouting and normally I would not spend as much time as I did on making images of an auto parked off to the side, but the light, color and the quality of the paint drew me to it. The long fluorescent tube lights from above made the long narrow highlights and open shadows on the chrome and paint. The red color of the bullet taillights gives color contrast to the metallic green blue paint drawing one’s eye to the tail. The cropping and simple background added to the graphic feel of the image. I am grateful I looked further around the location and caught this great specimen of a Classic.
